Questions & Answers about Combinația este corectă.

Why does combinația end in -a?

Because Romanian often puts the definite article at the end of the noun, not before it as English does.

• combinație = a combination
• combinația = the combination

So the -a here is the feminine singular definite article attached to the noun.

Is combinație a feminine noun?

Yes. Combinație is feminine.

You can see that in forms like:

• o combinație = a combination
• combinația = the combination

Because the noun is feminine singular, the adjective also has to match it.

Why is it corectă and not corect?

Because Romanian adjectives agree with the noun in gender and number.

Here:

• combinația is feminine singular
• so the adjective must also be feminine singular
• therefore: corectă

Compare:

• băiatul este corect = the boy is correct/fair
• fata este corectă = the girl is correct/fair
• combinația este corectă = the combination is correct
